Milton Berle

Milton Berle "Uncle Milty" was born July 12, 1908

And for you "senior folks" who remember Uncle Milty..he dominated he TV world from 1948 to 1956, making his TV debut in Texaco Star Theater.

At age 11, he was already entertaining WW11 troops at local New York, New Jersey camps.

A born comedian, his chart shows his timing was impeccable when he delivered his jokes and monologues, and he had a "racy tongue" which could cut you down with one word and a nasty look. Milton loved the limelight, with all of his energy focused on "goofy, make 'em laugh" style of presenting himself.

Miltie was born to be "bigger than anyone else" and he took that to the absolute limit....he lived to be 93
